Guess I got the Midas Touch

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute AUDACITY of that bug to just sit there, menacingly, after I've sacrificed EIGHT PRECIOUS HOURS of my life! 💅 Did it even TRY to reveal its secrets? Noooope! Just stared back at me like "figure it out, genius." So what does any self-respecting developer do? Dramatically slam the laptop shut, declare psychological warfare, and strut out the door with ZERO progress but ALL the attitude. That bug thinks it won today? Honey, I'm coming back tomorrow with a vengeance and three more StackOverflow tabs open. Sleep tight, little glitch - your days are NUMBERED! ✨

Content Six Stages of Debugging 1. That can't happen. 2. That doesn't happen on my machine. 3. That shouldn't happen. 4. Why does that happen? 5. On, I see. 6. How did that ever work?

Converting a Python script to an executable is the digital equivalent of asking a cat to fetch - theoretically possible, but prepare for chaos. PyInstaller promises a simple "one-command solution" but delivers a screaming nightmare of missing dependencies, mysterious errors, and packages that suddenly forget they exist. Nothing says "I've made terrible life choices" quite like watching your terminal spew 300 lines of errors because you dared to believe packaging would be straightforward. And the best part? After 4 hours of debugging, you'll end up with an .exe file roughly the size of the entire Lord of the Rings extended trilogy.

The C++ Committee hands out medals for printing "Hello, World!" while every other language stands on the podium looking dignified. Meanwhile, C++ guy is busy screaming, flipping everyone off, and spraying champagne like he just discovered fire. Nothing captures the spirit of modern programming quite like watching C++ celebrate basic functionality that other languages implemented without needing therapy afterward. The committee's slogan might as well be "We'll make string handling intuitive by 2053, we promise!" The real joke is all of us still writing C++ in 2023 while explaining to management that memory leaks are just "giving back to the operating system."

The brutal honesty of career choices summed up in one confession. Started coding because it seemed cool, stayed because I'm too deep in the tech debt to escape now. That moment when you realize your GitHub commits are basically digital breadcrumbs leading to your slow descent into Stack Overflow dependency. Seven years and four frameworks later, still googling basic syntax and pretending it's normal. The only difference between junior and senior devs? Seniors know which errors to ignore.
